Abdullah Oduro – Daily Reminders – Keeping Peace Within Our Homes

			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu made peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all. The
other day I was sitting in my dining area and I was reading and my son walked downstairs into the
kitchen, walked in the kitchen, open the refrigerator, got what he wanted to drink, and then was
proceeding to walk back to the stairs and I stopped him. I said, Son, I know we know each other and
I know you've known me for a long time as a matter of fact, but give me salaams Let's give soleimani
give it a try As salam o Alaikum. This is what I cinematical and I know he's saying that because I
already know my dead we know each other. I mean, I'm just saying salaam aleikum. I'm so used to
		

			saying it but we have to realize that this was a salam wa Alaykum is adorned with a Hubbard's news
about a loss upon without it being SLM. Therefore, he gives the peace to other individuals other
other forms of creation, or we asked him to give us this Sam upon you. So when I say a salaam
aleikum, may peace be upon you. I know all of us want peace in our households now being with this
COVID-19 and even outside of the COVID-19 virus era timeframe. Do we want peace for our family
members? We may want peace in our households. But do we want peace internally for each family member
that each family member that we have, we want them to have this tranquility and ease no panic in
		

			their hearts or they have enough ease in their minds and their hearts to try their best to take the
means in easing the panic or fear within other family members as Santa Monica. You know, when we
wake up, we say that to our family members. And we have the intention. It is a dog. It's a dog
you're making for them. You're asking a loss of kind of what Allah to bless them with peace and
tranquility. There's a beautiful Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on a Timothy it's
on narrated by Timothy. And it's Hadith and hasn't in sha Allah. What's in your armor, he came to
the province of the light of Islam and he asked him about fitness. If there is a time of fitna, what
		

			do we do now with the COVID-19. In our households, there may be fitna You know, there may be war not
with guns and not with grenades. And not with fighting each other with with knives and weapons. But
it's a different kind of fitna, it may be a family member that you've never wanted to speak to this
time you have to speak to them. There may be some tension that's between you all and when you all
walk past each other in the kitchen. It may start the process a little long winded was Selim gave
this advice to Ahmed regarding fitna between people. But it's something general that we can use for
link de linguistic meaning of fitna, because it takes place in any type of trouble that you may face
		

			on a communal level, or even amongst a group of people. The first thing he said was, I'm sick, I lay
calisthenic. He said, Hold your tongue, hold your tongue, from what from saying things that could
that could, that could bring the fire, make it hotter and make it bigger, right that could put some
gas on the fire and make it worse, don't say something to your family member that you know will push
their buttons. It may be the words that you use. And a lot of times, some of us think that we're
slick, it may be the way that we say the words to that person. Because we know if we say it in that
way, it'll just trigger something that will start an argument. Or it'll just trigger something that
		

			it may not start an argument. But it will it won't bring any Salaam to their hearts or to their
minds. You know, brothers and sisters not talking about in Islam, I'm talking about siblings, many
things that we say, especially the older siblings to the younger ones. We may say hurtful things to
our younger brother, or younger sister, and may not even think twice about it. But it has a long
lasting effect on how they live as human beings in the future. Now that you're home, so many times
long periods of time, throughout the day. If you're sitting you're playing video games, or watching
a movie, watch what you say to one another be considerate of the other individual. Think about if it
		

			was said to me, would I like it or not? This is what is very important for us to watch what we say.
You know why the min jevelin ahaadeeth and tirmidhi It's a long Heidi, why them in general where the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was telling him about a bobble head. He said * I don't look
at either of wearables. And he was asking, should I should I tell you not the good things, the doors
to goodness. And then he mentioned some of the pillars of Islam. But then at the very end of it, he
mentioned well I do look at Allah amalaki delich acqualina adalah cabbie, malarkey, Malik aqualisa.
He said, shall I not tell you about that which controls and owns all of these things being these
		

			actions that we do from fast
		

			From prayer from sadaqa from charity which he mentioned earlier and why they've been Jebel he
mentioned the promise awesome. Other believe melissani is a coup phallic ahead or I'm sick Anika he
said hold this. have control of it. Take it over Do not let it overpower you. Right Khufu alayka had
he took his tongue and he told him that and then what either Benjamin asked a question yeah and to
be alone what in lemoore aha Luna the man at the movie, he said and barely we barely be held
accountable from what we say. The prophets of Allah who it was sent Sallam said, Thank you, let's
call him Wilkie Ahmad.
		

			He made it's an Arabic expression to show that you've been neglectful wake up think about this and
why didn't he makes the statement? He asked him a rhetorical question. Well, how did you cook
Vanessa? I live with Julie him while I manage him. Illa Hassan II do I listen to him? And will
mankind not be thrown in the fire
		

			on their faces, and on their noses except what their tongues have reaped, reaped, meaning that you
may have said something consistently to someone over a period of years that verbal abuse that has a
long lasting effect on your children. And then you take them to a psychiatrist, a psychologist,
what's wrong with them, there's something wrong with him. But when we dig deep or when a
psychiatrist a psychologist or neighbor digs deep and looks and sees that it was the way you were
speaking to them, this time that you're home with them. It may intensify. So be aware of what you
say the second thing they promised a lot and it was something said what else is in beta? Oh, well
		

			Yes, sir cabbie took.
		

			He said and stay home. Looking at the COVID-19 now, we see that it is something that were ordered to
stay home rather from this shitty.
		

			It is from an Islamic objective of preserving the knifes preserving the souls the bodies the health
and even wealth. To stay home as a panel or the opposite is to be in the masjid to the best of your
ability and be with the community. Now the obligation is to stay home, particularly depending on
your app, but generally we can say generically it's recommended to stay home the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said what do you sack me to stay home and stay away from the fitna even scholars
different difference of agree is it better to have Ursula to be away from the people in general, but
we know with other proofs that depending on the situation, but in any case now with the COVID-19
		

			it's important for us to stay home in your during times of fitna to where it could be pandemonium
and thirdly the prophets of Allah Allah wa sallam said,
		

			what key Allah hottie attic and to cry over your sins. Now that you are home, please look at this as
an opportunity. Do not look at it as everyone is destroyed. Do not say with your tongue at the
dinner table. Everyone is destroyed. The world's coming to an end. We're all going to die. We're all
going to get sick. What are we going to do with a look of worry on your face, especially the leaders
of the household. Do not show worry and panic. Rather, when you are alone, and you are at home, look
at your mistakes, and cry over your mistakes. So use this time that you have the second form of
advice to implement the third. When you're at home alone Now, think of what you've done. evaluate
		

			yourself. have a purpose and let that purpose push you every single day to be humble. cry over your
sins. This was an imperative verb web key if key cry over your sins. And if it's difficult for you
to cry, sit alone and ask why.
		

			At least have some attachment to the one that created you intimately with him. Recall the mistakes
that you've made that day and ask Allah to forgive you with a severe form of sorrow in your heart
doesn't mean that if you don't cry, you don't have a soft heart. What it is expressing here is for
you to express the need and love and deprivation of Allah's mercy to where that mercy will be
exemplified in keeping you away from fitna individually within yourself with the battle between
yourself and with your family. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us of those that watch our tongues
may make us of those that stay home protecting ourselves and others as our civil responsibility and
		

			may He make us of those that cry over our sin sins.
		

			With reflection, redemption for renewal, a cinema akin to LA he already gets it. Thank you
